Walt Disney World has reportedly declared war on Crocs, the ones you wear on your feet, following multiple incidents involving the foam slides jamming escalators.

The Florida amusement park has “outlawed” the popular footwear — at least on its escalators — where the shoes have been getting chewed up and stuck in the escalator teeth, Inside the Magic reported.

When I was a kid, my parents told me when on escalator at the top always step before it ended.

Still do it today, I guess people are pre-occupied with texting and smartphones.

Easier solution: don’t go to groomer land.

It’s not the crocs... It’s the braindead redneck losers who buy Crocs, that are responsible. Stupid is, as stupid does.

Mine, too! I still vividly remember my dad rescuing a little girl when the toe of her Keds sneaker was getting sucked in at the bottom of a JC Penney escalator. Lots of screaming and crying and bruised purple toes.

When I read the headline I clicked thinking people were bringing crocodiles onto escalators.

Since I wear trifocals, stepping on an escalator is an adventure. All those steel teeth.

A little lovingkindness and attention to detail go a long way:

“All right everybody, watch your step getting off. Beeth-oven make sure you don’t get sucked under. Everybody get together. Make sure you remember who your buddy is. So-crates, watch out for your robe, dude. Okay, follow me.”

A friend’s 8 yr. old son lost his entire foot after his croc’s were caught in an escalator. Happened in Chicago last fall.

Good. Shoelaces are much safer on escalators!

The 2000s actually. When Mike Judge saw some in 2003, he chose them for footwearin Idiocracy,because he didn’t believe they would be popular, andthey looked like a shoe for stupid people in the future.
